I think he was brought here b/c he showed ability to pass rush on obvious passing downs from the inside, something it seems they were looking for.  Right now, the best guys are YGM and Morgan Fox.

We have the big body guys like Brown, Jones, Roy, & Nixon and smaller, faster Edge guys like Burns, Haynes, Reddick, etc. that aren't big enough for interior pass rushing.

At least that's what I think reading the tea leaves.

Darryl Johnson is supposedly very good on ST also

I guess if we can’t score tds on offense we got to try and score them on special teams.

I mean, he could work out nicely so let's go!

The whole Elflein and Erving still rubs me the wrong way.  I feel like we could have curated a much better OL than we did but I can't complain much with the rest of the roster and what they've done.  

We haven't seen Erving and Elflein (he should play C) in action, but we're still crucifying them.

Crazy.

We may end up with no picks in 2022 at this rate

Meh... just used the draft pick we got from the Raiders for Perryman to get Johnson... net zero in gained or lost draft picks

Only real hole we have in next year's draft after all the wheeling and dealing Fitterer has done is the 2nd next year for Darnold

I agree with a lot of your posts, but respectfully, you are in left field on this... 

Haynes was solid last year (5.5 sacks which was 2nd on the team) and has had an excellent TC and preseason.  He is going to get substantial playing time this year.

This move is bad news for Christian Miller/ maybe Phil Hoskins...

Haynes will 100% make this roster

Possibly as an OLB in 3-4 sets, but this move was to get more beef on the edge.

Expect a first round trade down to re coup that

Conspiracy Theory sorta:  The offense has been focused on hybrids--Ricci and Cannon (Erving, Christensen, Elflein, etc, too).  Maybe the plan is to keep fewer offensive players (9 OL, 5 WRs, No real FB---Ricci + Arnold and Tremble at TE, Cannon as the third RB, 6th WR)....maybe we keep 24 Offensive players and 26 defensive players.

I'm indifferent to this move... I assume there is a need that us arm-chair GMs don't see.

With that said - this arm-chair GM wishes it had been a OT.  I see that Greg Little not only is going to make the Miami roster but may start...  Hoping we don't end up looking stupid there.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
